Great company but avoid the sales divisi - Anonymous employee Practising Law Institute Employee Review

We recognize that not every employee at PLI is going to have the positive, rewarding experience that we intend to provide, despite our best efforts. We also respect those having different perspectives about the work environment. Because of that we regularly provide opportunities for staff to give input, as the reviewer referenced. With regard to the Sales area in particular it is worth sharing a few facts. Simply put, our objective is for the Sales staff to be successful and to feel part of a supportive team in meeting goals. To that end, an emphasis is placed on recurrent training, guidance, education on PLI’s products, and collaboration among the members of the department. When it comes to Sales candidates, we value a wide range of backgrounds and experience, and the current makeup of the Sales group reflects that approach. In the last year we have hired many capable individuals with both varied experience and backgrounds in different industries. We have also welcomed several employees with law degrees and legal backgrounds to the team. We look for enthusiasm, professionalism, demonstrated skills, and a genuine interest in the mission of PLI which has supported the legal community for over eight decades. As the reviewer indicated, we are proud of the high quality of PLI’s programs and services produced by our talented staff, and frequently incorporate staff suggestions to improve products. So we invite readers on this site to check out our open job opportunities and make your own decisions about what it might mean to be a part of our organization. Best Regards, Joan D. Sternberg VP, Human Resources
